The Fault in our Stars

The Fault in Our Stars

Blog by Haley Russell

This week I read The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. This book was really amazing and sad. I think that this book has some extensive content but is amazingly written. It is also a pretty sad book so if you don't like sad books i wouldn't recommend it. 

This book is about a girl named Hazel with stage IV lung cancer. Along her journey she becomes friends with a guy named Augustus. She goes to Amsterdam and even though she is put down by her favorite author Augustus it there to help her through it.

If i were going to give this book a rating i would rate it a four and a half because i really liked this book
This week i am officially reading The Arm of the Starfish by Madeleine O'Engle

The Art of Racing in the Rain

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein

The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein is a story told by the perspective of a dog. The husband, Denny, is  a race car driver and Enzo the dog is passionate about racing too. Denny marries a women named Eve and they have a daughter named Zoe. Eve gets brain cancer and Eve and Zoe go to live with eve's parents. Denny has to overcome the challenges that he faces.

I really liked this book, the fact that it was told by Enzo made it twelve times better. I liked it because it told a really story and something that could happen to anyone. It wasn't fake. This book does have extensive language and if you are going to read this book check with your parents. The next book I am going to read is The arm of the Starfish by Madeleine L'Engle.

101 Dalmatians

Hi!
This week I read 101 Dalmatians by Dodie Smith. I thought that this book was really great because it is  a story of never giving up. This book was a fiction book, written in the third person. This book was a easy to medium read, because it is written in a way that is easy to read, yet it is about 199 pages. I would recommend this book, because I think that it is a great book and is written in a way that express the way that the main characters are feeling. I would recommend this book to a reader who likes stories that are sad yet they have lots of adventure in them. 101 Dalmatians is a classic tale about Dalmatians and an evil lady who steals them for their fur. This mother and father of the pups must go on a quest to find the lost pups, but they find much more than that. This week I am reading The Arm of the Starfish by Madeleine L'Engle.
